Odd things sighted in dungeon.

[Pteriforever]

YES. I just recently had Dowan, Duvessa, and Menkaure in one 3x3 room. Gawd I love Call Canine Familiar. Sigmund was elsewhere on the level.

[Confidence Interval]

The bat. If it's asleep above water, how come it doesn't fall in and drown?

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

Ceiling!

[Grimm]

Yeah he's clinging to the ceiling or wall, as bats do, man.

[Confidence Interval]

I don't think it's the wall because I think it'd be there whether there was a wall adjacent or not. The problem with the ceiling idea is that I, playing as a teeny tiny Spriggan, can stab a sleeping bat - and how could I do that if it was hanging high up on the wall...

No, ladies and gentlemen (and Lola, who may categorize herself as she sees fit), for your diversion and amazement I present to you: the world's only, never-before-seen, floating bat!

[Grimm]

I hate to burst your little comedy bubble there but Zzz doesn't mean "asleep", it means "unaware of your presence".

[AtT]

I hate to burst your little comedy bubble there but Zzz doesn't mean "asleep", it means "unaware of your presence".

In console it says "sleeping," or "dormant" if undead. I think demons are "dormant" too.

Ha! The bat is sleeping. And floating.

Anyway, the "unaware of your presence" thing doesn't seem quite right since monsters are always still when they are marked Zzz (unless, occasionally, confused) - which suggests sleep rather than merely not paying attention.

[Grimm]

They're not resting, they're loitering. Should say Lll...

Crawl, like most roguelikes, uses a 2.5-D engine like the original Doom. Even though there's the illusion of height, for targeting purposes the z-axis doesn't come into play...even with melee weapons.

[Burningled]

Nope.avi

Edit: There's been a lot of Kurapp in this thread recently, hasn't there?

[TwilightPhoenix]

Apparently when we're not looking, Elyvilon takes blood sacrifices.





Not sure if desperate for customers or just has nowhere else to put all that cash...

[Blade]

The International Committee of Dungeon Crawling declared Boris to be a plague on society and stuck him in a maximum-security prison.

(it's faded out because when I saw him in the vault, I decided I didn't need to do it after all and ran away. It was only afterwards that I realized I wanted to take a picture)

But it is used sometimes: you can't pick things up off the floor when you're levitating, right?

Right but spriggans are nimble as fuck they can probably jump up and climb whatever the hell they want. Bats, ogres, etc.

[Confidence Interval]

spriggans are nimble as fuck

Is that from the manual or somewhere on the wiki? I can't find that particular description in either place.

[Pteriforever]

Is it normal to have abyss gates of D:5?

[Grimm]

That's a vault, specifically designed to freak you out.

[bobross419]

And give free exp if you're playing trunk

[TwilightPhoenix]

Or have confusion in some cases.

One day, a Teleportitis-mutated Kenku Fighter was minding his own business, when:



SUDDENLY, ORCS

THOUSANDS OF THEM

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

I actually fell out of my chair laughing in hysterics when this happened. ;//;

Though I think I still would have prefered this over the Jelly I had been dealing with moments prior to this. At least Orcs die when you kill them and they STAY DEAD

[Pteriforever]

Sorry, D:1 is down for maintenance.

[Confidence Interval]

It's a 3 by 1 room containing a stair up from the floor below, four staffs, and a quarterstaff. It's some sort of broom(stick) cupboard?

[AtT]

I saw that one before lol except I think mine had a staff of death in it or something

[Pteriforever]

I encountered a pack of orcs consisting of a priest and three wizards.

Better than only three priest on D3 or the orc priest I tough that I could handle it alone since my MdFi was able to fight two at same time with all there mobs.
Well got smitten 4 time in a row closing up just to be electrocuted by is dagger. I hate the RNG.

[XuaXua]

Some joker must have created a royal jelly room vault for Vaults.

Cleared out a bunch of green slimes from it and all the prizes aren't all that great (though I plan to spend that enchant on my eudemon sword, thanks Mennas!) but there is a royal jelly in the middle!

[Pteriforever]

WHenever I get a message like this, I'm all like "D'aww <3"



They trying to market this game to furries or something?

[Pteriforever]

I thought this wasn't supposed to spawn outside of Slime?

[Blade]

I thought this wasn't supposed to spawn outside of Slime?

It only spawns very rarely outside of Slime. In my last game, I had two altars to Jiyva besides the one on Slime:6 - one on D:13 and one at the entrance.

Anyway, I had this ... interesting ... sight in the Orcish Mines recently.
...yeah. Needless to say, I got out of there (and came back later through the wall, because that's sorta an Earth Elementalist thing to do)

some very special treasure

[Grimm]

That's a club that won't accept you.

[Jabberwocky]

Watch it, I'm not sure a level six draconian is strong enough to go up against British military intelligence.

[Stormfox]

No, that would be Menkaure, an ice beast, and Grinder, and D:5 would not be amazingly out of depth for an ice beast. On the other hand if you can get to a corridor with breathing room and could conjure up some flame clouds...

Going through to the next level and:

That would be Hellion Island. Freezing cloud works great here (and a lot of other places too).

[TwilightPhoenix]

So does running away and never returning.

[Blade]

I laughed when I saw this shop. What are the chances?

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

gbos spotted a strange glowing knife. In Dungeon Eighteen. In Webtiles 0.9.
It was a mimic -- either very forgetful, or very young and naive.

[Tiber]

If it's a food shop, I wouldn't eat anything there.

I down to Crypt:2 and ran smack into a dozen assorted undead along with Khufu.
After a few rounds of stair dancing, I noticed this:



I've yet to hit him, and yet he's fleeing??

[Blade]

Here's a fun one:

hallucination.png (29.77 KiB) Viewed 11086 times

Playing a Hill Orc Priest, I came upon this bizarre phenomenon while traversing the Orcish Mines. Some strange witchcraft of the developers turned many of my followers into rare-looking items!

unhallucination.png (23.04 KiB) Viewed 11086 times

...except when it didn't.

This happened every other keypress; it didn't matter if the key did anything, they changed from orcs to objects and back again (including when I pressed print screen to get the shot). It happened almost every time I went onto Orc:3 and a few other levels, and caused me to scratch my head in bewilderment whenever it occurred.

I'm playing a fairly recent (week-old-ish) build of Trunk, which may account for it.

[TwilightPhoenix]

Not what I expected to find in a Labyrinth...
